Viemmaco Aluminium Company Ltd · the operating brief
A familiar outline.
A precise reference.
- 60 × 40 × 2 mm
- STUDY-A-60-40-2
- 90 × 60 × 2 mm
- STUDY-B-90-60-2
An order, its payment, the stock and the material requirement need to agree about which product they mean.
How do you make a business feel connected, inside and out?
My work at Viemmaco brings creative direction and IT into the same business. I work for the parent company, of which Viemmaco Aluminium Company Ltd is a part. The scope runs from the identity customers encounter to the software and digital operations used by the team.
For the aluminium business, the software brief follows the relationship between sales, payments, materials and production. At parent-company level, the creative work considers how the organisation and its businesses present themselves. Each requires a clear understanding of the people using it.
The software and the identity should serve the same business.
From operations to identity.
- 01
Understand
Start with the business, its people and its products. Keep distinct materials and product variants traceable, and understand what each role needs to see.
- 02
Connect
Design the relationship between stock, production, sales, payments and reporting. Keep management information within the appropriate views, with Ghanaian cedi as the operating currency.
- 03
Shape
Develop a measured visual direction through typography, colour, packaging and company communications, with the product and its material character at the centre.
- 04
Refine
Review the interface with the people who use it. Refine the brand applications against the parent identity, the communication and the context in which it will be seen.
Software shaped around the operation.
A business application has to follow the work people actually do. For Viemmaco Aluminium Company Ltd, that means understanding how an order becomes a payment, how production uses materials, and how finished products become available stock. My application development begins with those relationships, before deciding how they should appear on a screen.
Similar-looking products can have different dimensions, weights and material requirements. Preserving those distinctions is essential to reliable stock and production records. Sales, inventory and reporting also need clear ownership: staff should have the information required for their responsibilities, while management views retain the appropriate commercial detail.
Parent-company identity
Creative Director & IT OfficerJuly 2026 — Present
- At the parent company
- Creative direction, visual communication and IT responsibilities.
- For Viemmaco Aluminium Company Ltd
- Software for the relationship between sales, payments, stock and production.
The organisation has to be recognisable. Its records have to agree.
Preserve the chosen product variant.
Sales & payments
The order, payment and receipt refer to the product being sold.
Stock & production
The variant retains its distinct dimensions, weight and material requirements.
People & responsibilities
Staff actions and management information have appropriate views.
The connection matters more than a similar name: production and sales need to refer to the same operational record.
The relationships behind the operationThe chosen product variant stays connected through sales, payments, stock and production. Parent-company identity and the aluminium subsidiary’s operating software remain distinct responsibilities.
Creative Director & IT Officer · July 2026 — Present. Software & identity development.
Specimen AHollow rectangular profile
60 × 40 mmWidth × depth · 2 mm wall
Specimen BHollow rectangular profile
90 × 60 mmWidth × depth · 2 mm wall
A familiar outline can conceal a different product variant. Both sections are drawn at the same scale; their widths and depths differ, while their illustrated wall thickness stays the same.
These dimensions are illustrative, not company product specifications. Weight is a separate measurement and is not supplied or calculated here. The perspective suggests the profile’s form, not a measured length.
Compare dimensions
| Measurement | A | B |
|---|---|---|
| Width | 60 mm | 90 mm |
| Depth | 40 mm | 60 mm |
| Wall thickness | 2 mm | 2 mm |
| Weight | Not specified | Not specified |
Width, depth and weight describe different properties. A reliable product record preserves each verified value, its unit and the chosen variant, rather than treating a similar outline as the same item. A weight calculation would require additional verified material and length data.
Follow a variant through the operation
The outline is familiar. The reference has to be precise.
Specimen A60 × 40 mm · 2 mm wall
Four illustrative responsibilities. One shared product reference.
OrderSales role
STUDY-A-60-40-2
Choose the exact variant before recording the order.
What is the customer asking for?
- What this view needs
- Reference and verified dimensions
- Keep separate
- A product name alone cannot establish the variant.
PaymentPayment role
STUDY-A-60-40-2
Associate the payment with the order for this variant. A payment record does not establish available stock or completed production.
Which order does the payment belong to?
- What this view needs
- The order and its product reference
- Keep separate
- Payment, available stock and production completion answer different questions.
StockStock role
STUDY-A-60-40-2
Check that variant’s own record; a similar outline is not a substitute.
Which item is being counted?
- What this view needs
- The same variant, its unit and its own stock record
- Keep separate
- A nearby variant’s balance cannot stand in for this one.
ProductionProduction role
STUDY-A-60-40-2
Carry the same reference and dimensions into the material requirement.
What exactly needs to be made?
- What this view needs
- The chosen variant and its verified material requirement
- Keep separate
- Unspecified weight, length or material data must remain unspecified.
One variant, carried through four related records. Selecting specimen B changes every variant reference together.

One variant, carried through four related records. Selecting specimen A changes every variant reference together.
When an outline is not enough
“A rectangular profile” describes a form. It leaves the chosen dimensions unresolved.
- Before a variant is chosen
- Width, depth and wall thickness are unknown. A similar drawing supplies none of those values.
- After the reference is chosen
- The dimensions above travel with that reference. Weight, length and available quantities stay unspecified in this study.
The interface question is simple: keep the reference and its verified units together, and let missing information remain visible. This is a design explanation, not a production validator.
An authored diagram using the two specimens above and anonymous illustrative roles. No order, stock balance, payment or production record is created. Weight and available quantities are not supplied. It does not describe Viemmaco’s staff permissions or disclose business records.
- Sales & payments
- The software brief follows the order, payment and receipt together. Ghanaian cedi, clear transaction records and understandable staff actions guide the interface.
- Stock & production
- Product variants, material requirements and stock movements considered together, so production and sales refer to the same operational record.
- IT & access
- IT responsibilities alongside application development: usable staff workflows, appropriate access and practical support for the people operating the business.
One company. A coherent visual voice.
My creative direction sits at the parent-company level. The task is to give Viemmaco and its businesses a recognisable voice across digital communication, printed material and brand applications. The official eagle identity is the starting point; typography, colour, image direction and composition give it a consistent setting.
A useful identity system has to survive ordinary use: a document, a product label, a company announcement, a screen. The composition may change, but the organisation should remain recognisable. My direction considers the weight of the mark, the space around it and the relationship between type and information in each setting.
Inside the software, a product reference tells the team which material belongs to the work. In public communication, the identity tells a reader who is speaking. Both depend on keeping a clear relationship. The composition below brings the original parent identity and the aluminium business’s brief into one frame, giving each its own weight and space.
Give the identity room. Give the information a place.
I want the name to remain recognisable while the work beneath it changes. The mark carries that recognition; the words beside it make the particular business understandable.
The space around a mark
is part of its voice.
ViemmacoParent-company identity
Viemmaco Aluminium
Company Ltd
The operational brief
From an
order
to its record.
Sales, payments, materials and production belong to one connected account of the work.
New composition / portfolio studyThe same original identity at two scales. The subsidiary’s full name and operational brief sit beneath the parent reference, with their own reading hierarchy. The eagle and wordmark are unchanged.
This is a new composition for this portfolio. Its typography and ink setting illustrate the relationship; they are not an approved Viemmaco brand standard or issued company material.
Inspect the original vector identity Follow the line into my essay- The parent identity
- The official eagle and wordmark represent Viemmaco at parent-company level. The distinction between the parent and Viemmaco Aluminium Company Ltd stays explicit in the portfolio.
- The creative portfolio
- The new composition here uses the unchanged original mark to explain hierarchy and context. Approved photographs, issued brand applications and suitable interface captures will be added as the work becomes available.
Software & identity development
A developing body of work.
My role covers the parent company’s creative direction and IT responsibilities, with software development for the aluminium subsidiary. The official parent-company logo is presented alongside a new portfolio composition connecting its identity with the aluminium business’s operational brief.
